Official! William Carvalho gets new club, ex-Sporting man heads to... | OneFootball

It’s official. William Carvalho has already found a new destination to continue his career, in a move that ended up going almost completely unnoticed. At 34, the Portugal international left Mexico’s Pachuca and is now a Palm City player, a club competing in the second division of the United Arab Emirates.

The signing was not given an official presentation, with the footballer only identified as a “last-minute addition” on the bench for the match against Al Arabi, which ended in a heavy 5-2 defeat.

William Carvalho will reunite with a familiar name from the Alvalade club. The midfielder will have Abdoulay Diaby as a teammate, the winger who also played for Sporting. The new experience comes after a short spell at Pachuca, where he featured in just nine matches.

Before heading to Mexico, the Portugal international spent several years playing for Betis. The player was also a European champion with Portugal in 2016 and is now preparing for a new stage of his career away from Europe’s top leagues.

It is worth remembering that William Carvalho spent many years of his career playing for Sporting. He wore the green-and-white hoops between 2005/06 and 2017/18, when he terminated his contract after the attack on the Academy. The Lions later reached an agreement with the Spanish club, receiving around €16.5 million for 75% of his economic rights.
